Twostepcub's music chart for August 26, 2023...
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Luke Combs parks himself at #1 for a sixth week, while Taylor Swift (pictured above) also claims a pair of songs in the top ten. Songs from Janelle Monae, Billie Eilish, and Beck/Phoenix make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Nickelback, Maroon 5, Metalllica, Old Dominion, and the Revivalists drop off my chart. And under the list everything is Spotify playlisted for 5 1/2 hours of the biggest in pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance music (but NOT that astroturfed propaganda tool). Where's that beach house?
